I had been following the US election quite closely, but I am now just sick of it. If the stakes weren't so high it would be funny how farcical it is, but the stakes are high so it's just not that amusing anymore.

That depends on how you define pathetic joke but this election certainly is exceptional. It looks like it is becoming a choice between a psychopath and a barefaced liar. Hillary wouldn't have a chance if Trump wasn't the alternative. What a shame Bernie was shut out by vested interests. He might have actually brought a little dignity to proceedings.

Any politician in power in power for a long time tends to go in that direction. H.Clinton has been around for a while and senior in two administrations. US presidents almost get a free ride from the U.S media when in power. Big advantage there. Bush had a fairly similar email scandal for example.
